Progressives still fight every day to stir the nation to the left, be it through activist judges who have tried to obstruct the President or the leftist media which has led the resistance. Most egregious of all has been the actions of the democrat controlled House of Representatives. While trying to impeach the President the more radical members, who basically run the House, have been initiating radical bills. Fortunately, none of which are getting past the "grim reaper " of the Senate. 

The latest of these bills is H.R.5383 , which was introduced on 12/10/2019 by Jesus "Chuy" Garcia (D-Ill)

Rep Jesus "Chuy" Garcia

For those who don't remember the Illinois democrat, it was he who asked the former acting ICE Director if he didn't care about migrant children under his watch "because the children don't look like children that are around you."  Yup, that was during that shameful show put on by Elijah Cummings to basically vilify Border Patrol & ICE Agents.


The Bill which Garcia is sponsoring is cited as the “New Way Forward Act” . Never heard of it you say?  I wonder why the media hasn't told us about it? To his credit, Tucker Carlson presented it to the American people last night.

Tucker Carlson - Host of "Tucker Carlson Tonight" (Fox News)



What we learned from Carlson's show last night:

"The legislation is sponsored by 44 House Democrats, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez  of New York. At roughly 4,400 words, it’s almost exactly as long as the U.S. Constitution.
Like the Constitution, this legislation is designed to create a whole new country. The bill would entirely remake our immigration system, with the explicit purpose of ensuring that criminals are able to move here, and settle here permanently, with impunity.

You may think we’re exaggerating for effect. We’re not – not even a little.

The New Way Forward act is the most radical single piece of legislation we’ve seen proposed in this country. It makes the Green New Deal look like the status quo.

A document produced by Democrats to promote the bill says: “Convictions … should not lead to deportation.”

Keep in mind, we’re not talking about convictions for double parking. The bill targets felony convictions – serious crimes that send you to prison for years. A press release from Rep., Jesus Garcia, D-Ill., is explicit about this.

Garcia brags that the bill will break the “prison to deportation pipeline.” How does the bill do that? Under current U.S. law, legal U.S. immigrants can be deported if they commit an “aggravated felony” or a “crime of moral turpitude” – that is, a vile, depraved act, like molesting a child. Under the New Way Forward Act, “crimes of moral turpitude” are eliminated entirely as a justification for deportation. And the category of “aggravated felony” gets circumscribed too.

What does that mean?

Consider this: Under current law, immigrants who commit serious crimes – such as robbery, fraud, or child sexual abuse – must be deported, regardless of the sentence they receive. Other crimes – less severe ones like racketeering – require deportation as long as the perpetrator receives at least a one-year sentence.

But if this bill passes the House and Senate and is signed into law by the president, there will no longer be any crimes that automatically require deportation. None.

And one crime – falsifying a passport – will be made immune from deportation, no matter what. Because apparently 9/11 never happened, and we no longer care about fake government documents.

If you just renewed your driver’s license to comply with the Real ID Act, you must feel like an idiot. Under the proposed legislation, the minimum prison sentence for crimes that still require deportation would rise from one year to five.

We checked the Bureau of Justice Statistics. According to federal data, crimes like car theft, fraud, and weapons offenses all carry average prison sentences of fewer than five years. And that’s just looking at averages. There are people who commit rape, child abuse and even manslaughter and receive sentences of fewer than five years. Lots of them.

If the New Way Forward Act becomes law, immigrants who commit those crimes and receive those sentences would remain in the country. They’ll all be eligible for citizenship one day, too.

But even that is understating the law’s effect. Even a five-year prison sentence won’t necessarily be enough to secure deportation. The bill would grant sweeping new powers to immigration judges, allowing them to nullify a deportation order.

The only requirement is that “the immigration judge finds such an exercise of discretion appropriate in pursuit of humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or when it is otherwise in the public interest.” In other words, anti-American immigration judges – and many of them are exactly that – would have a blank check to open the borders. No vote required.                                                                                                     

Sound shocking to you? We’re just getting started. Current U.S. law makes drug addiction grounds for deportation, because why wouldn’t it? This bill would eliminate that statute.

Current law also states that those who have committed drug crimes abroad, or any “crimes involving moral turpitude,” are ineligible to immigrate here. The New Way Forward Act abolishes that statute.

A Mexican drug cartel leader could be released from prison, then freely come to America immediately. And if he wants, he could come here illegally, and it wouldn’t be a crime – because, and you were waiting for this, the bill also decriminalizes illegal entry into America, even by those previously deported.

According to a document promoting the bill, criminalizing illegal entry into America is “white supremacist.”

By this point, you’re beginning to wonder if we’re making this up. We’re not. In fact, we’re barely halfway through the bill.

The legislation doesn’t just make it harder to deport legal immigrants who commit crimes. It doesn’t just make it easier for criminals to legally move here. The bill would also effectively abolish all existing enforcement against illegal immigration.

To detain illegal immigrants, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would have to prove in court that the illegal immigrants are dangerous or a flight risk. But of course, ICE wouldn’t be allowed to use a detainee’s prior criminal behavior as proof he or she is dangerous. That's banned.

ICE would have to overcome even more hurdles if the detainee claims to be gay or transgender, under 21, or can’t speak English and an interpreter isn’t immediately available.

In other words, it would be much harder to arrest an illegal alien than it is to arrest you. They’re the protected class here. You’re just some loser who’s paying for it all.

But believe it or not, we saved the nuttiest part for last. What could be more destructive than changing U.S. law, specifically to allow rapists, child molesters, and drug dealers to stay in America? How about this: Using taxpayer money to bring deported criminals back into America.

That’s right. This bill would not only abolish your right to control who lives in your own country, but it invents a new right in return: the “right to come home.”

The bill orders the government to create a “pathway for those previously deported to apply to return to their homes and families in the United States,” as long as they would have been eligible to stay under the new law.

The Department of Homeland Security must spend taxpayer dollars transporting convicted criminal illegal aliens into the United States. Who will be eligible for these free flights? Tens of thousands of people kicked out of this country for all kinds of crimes. Sexual abuse. Robbery. Assault. Drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, human trafficking.

From 2002 to 2018, 480,000 people were deported for illegal entry or reentry into America. And under this bill, you’d have to buy them all a plane ticket to come back. The tickets alone would cost about a billion dollars, and that’s before Democrats make you start paying for these criminals’ free health care, too. Which they plan to."

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-criminals-would-be-protected-from-deportation-under-bill-aoc-and-other-house-democrats-back



So this will be another Bill to be passed by the democrat House and sent over to the Senate, which will, naturally, not be given serious consideration by the Senate leader. It will be added to the pile of partisan Bills that Nancy Pelosi considers the work load of the 116th Congress.


Nancy is praying for us all!

So glad I live in Arizona and not Illinois. We generally do not put up with crap like that here except in places like Phoenix or Tucson which are the two largest cities in the state and liberal Democrat bastions. Different story in most of the rural areas of the state  can which tends to lean more conservative. We have our own version named Raul Grijalva whos sounds like a carbo copy of Jesus Garcia. Garcia would not last long in Arizona. We barely put up with Grijalva. Representative "Chue" belongs where he is at. Illinois deserves him.

I read through the "Bill" and almost literally threw up my coffee - then the laughing fit caught me and now, 20 minutes later, I'll try my coffee again.

Did any of you notice that, NOT ONCE, is the term Illegal Alien mentioned in the Bill?  The only mention of someone not being "officially" authorized to enter the U.S. , they are mentioned as an "alien" - period.

That's been one of the typical ploys used by the Left. The other is "undocumented immigrant". In this bill, however, they came closer to the truth by using "alien", although it still omits the differences between "legal" and "illegal" alien.

It's also important to remember that many on the left insist on claiming that Trump "hates immigrants" even though that's a lie. It's just another case of omitting the differences between "legal" and "illegal".

The good Catholic that she is, she still refuses to acknowledge that she destroyed decades of tradition by changing the greeting of the president, making faces behind his back, and then ripping up the address. She has had a frustrating week, so it's all to be expected.

"I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say 'I pray for you' when they know that that's not so. So many people have been hurt and we can't let that go on."....Donald Trump

They are not used to that. They like the traditional establishment Republicans who play nice at all times!

Romney took quite a few punch's. Romney may have had one fatal flaw. He was the opposite of Bill Clinton - a terrible public official, yet a decent human being!  I'm trying to be generous to the man and I'll refrain from trying to judge what his motivations might have been.
